    Default Power steering Leak

    Hey guys, first post. I come here because I believe I have a power steering fluid leak. Everytime I park my car theres about four small puddles (not really puddles but just a little bit of fluid) underneath my car, pretty close to the front.

    The reason I believe it's power steering fluid is because It seems to empty quite often, I mean i've had the car for about a year now and i've had to replace the fluid about 5-6 times now (I dont think that's normal).

    I really have a slight knowledge, if any at all about cars so any information is helpful. Can't really afford to go to the mechanics atm, but will do if needed.

    Thanks guys.

    Either pump seal is gone or one of your hoses is loose or has a split in it.

    vx berlina's have a power steering cooling pipe located underneath the radiator ( you can see it by looking inside the air intake space on your front bumper,its u shaped.....they rust out...wipe this with a rag then start your engine to check for leaks ).They are $50 from holden and if your up to changing by yourself the radiator has to come out to unbolt the pipe,takes a couple of hours to do.
